How do I delete an activity?

Submitted by Malcolm MacGarvin on

Because of how I approached a problem where a bug can relocate a site to Africa when its boundary is subsequently modified, and the same can happen when a replacement area is added to an existing activity, I now have a couple of legacy sites after I have recreated them as a new activity with a newly input site boundary. No records are associated with any of the activities in the legacy sites (ie they currently include any records by anyone without joining the activity (in the past one of them may have required people to join and post into the activity).

How do I report Giant Hogweed?

Submitted by PhilPlant on

Hi, I think I found a Giant Hogweed plant and the Gov website sent me here to report it but I'm not sure how to. 

I have photos but when I click the photo button above, nothing happens. (When I click the video or table buttons, a pop up appears so I'm assuming the photo button isn't working 🤷🏻‍♂️).

Any advice please?

Verified sighting

Submitted by juliansidney@o… on

I haven't had my butterfly sightings verified for a couple of months now, 200 or so records on the iRecord butterfly app, is this normal ?

My records have been up loaded and I have appeared on the trending page with photos are being used, would be nice to know what I am reporting is correct.

Any help would be appreciated 

How Do I stop Edited Areas being relocated to Africa?

Submitted by Malcolm MacGarvin on

So … I'll be working on refining the shape of an area, all looks ok. I save the edits, get a 'success' message, open the site and find it now in Africa, even though the GB Grid Ref anchoring (I assume) the site appears ok?

See screenshot. Has anybody else experienced this and - more significantly - found a way to stop this happening?

Recording

Submitted by Ray Stones on

I'm new to the site & not an expert naturalist. I was looking forward to posting sightings in the hope of making a very small contribution to knowledge & protection. The recording site is on the whole simple but unclear to me. I entered tipula luna under species - rejected; tried crane fly tipula luna - rejected. What was I supposed to put?

 

Submitting bat records

Submitted by Hawkmoth Chaul… on

 

I have a large number of bat records to submit from static sessions over the last three years in villages, Reserves etc in the Nidderdale area and east towards York. 

I want to upload the relevant .wav file in support of my ID in case the verifier/s want to check it, for each record, but it's isnt accepting them due to size. Resizing to a different format is probably time consuming in view of the number of records, what's the best thing to do?

Activity

Submitted by Andrew Goodall on

Hello

I joined two Activities on my desktop and instantly they appear on my iPhone. Following from this I created an Activity on my desktop but this is not appearing on my iPhone. I have logged in and out of both desktop and iPhone and I have added records via desktop.

 

Any help appreciated. cannot seem to find anywhere to sync.
